The Story

10th Annversary CS-356 Diamond White Sparkle 2003

This is a very rare CS-356 that was released in 2003 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Gibson Custom Shop. With only 30 made, this CS-356 features a special Diamond White Sparkle finish along with ornate engraved gold pickup covers, multi-ply binding and a 10th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret. The guitar is in very good condition with little to no playwear on it at all! What you do see are some areas of yellowing and discoloration around the bottom of the body and around the strap pin, likely from being rested on a non-nitro friendly guitar stand. There are also the common tooling marks and lacquer checking areas on the headstock around the split diamond inlays. It's a model that's rarely seen available for sale, and it includes the original case with a COA!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
